Happy Halloween!  We had a great day!  In the morning we had reading, spelling, Spanish, and math.  Then we changed into Halloween costumes and  had a parade in the gym.  Everyone looked great all dressed up in costume.  Our party was a lot of fun, and thanks to the parents for bringing treats for us to enjoy!

As part of our Red Ribbon Week & Halloween celebration, we had a door decorating contest.  Each class worked hard on their door, but in the end, 5th grade won 1st place!  We have earned a dress down day!  We will need to decide on a day to use this so that everyone in the class can enjoy it!  More info will come soon on this.  (We are planning on the 2nd week of November or later.)

First quarter ends tomorrow, and report cards go home on Wednesday, November 6th.  Have a great day.

Today we did an art project with candy. It is to teach us more about cropping, and we can't wait until you get to see them! We are also working on complex and compound sentences. We also took the blue group's spelling test today. A lot of the students were using the website Spelling City to study for this test. So I do encourage them to use this website it is www.spellingcity.com! Thank you and have a wonderful day. May God bless you in everything you do! <3

More Info:We also have a dress down in the morning and the kids are allowed to change into Halloween costumes in the afternoon! Please don't go oveboard with the costumes.  Can't wait to see what the kids are for Halloween!(:

Today was a fun and busy day!  We had a pep rally to celebrate our 8th graders who were invited to the Seton Volleyball tournament.  The boys beat the teachers in a great game of volleyball.  Then the girls also dominated the court against the teachers.  In the third match, the 8th grade girls took on the 8th grade boys.  It was an exciting game with some awesome volleys on both sides of the net, but in the end the girls won!

Good luck to both teams next week at they represent St. Joe's/ St. Leonard's in the big tournament!  Have a fabulous day!

Today in school we are starting ABC fairy tale creative writing. We can pick our favorite fairy tale and write about it. Every sentence needs to start with the next letter of the alphabet so first we start with A and so on.

We are working on our instruments in science.  In art we finished our amazing sunrise and sunset pictures for Halloween.  Hopefully they will be displayed in time for conferences.

Have a great day!
